How can I convert DateTime to Date as Parameter?

Hi Guys! Need Help on this!! I am using a Datetime data type as my Parameter on my stored procedure in SQL Server 2005. I am also using Crystal Reports XI for my reporting using the stored procedure in SQL but my problem is that I want to use ONLY the DATE data type as my Parameter instead of using the datetime parameter in Crystal Reports! Since the SQL server does not have a Date data type, how can I convert this from DateTime to Only Date data type as my parameter?....Thanks!!

Use datatime data type and pass just date part from CR or strip off the time part wherever you are planning to use it.

declare @.d datetime

set @.d = getdate()

select dateadd(day, datediff(day, 0, @.d), 0)

go

Thanks! but how do you pass just the date part from CR? Any idea would be greatly appreciated!! I can strip off the time part inside the stored procedure in SQL 2005 but CR is using the parameter which is datetime....

Sorry about that, but I think that question could be answered better in a CR newsgroup. Try:

datetime(datepart("yyyy", {@.d}), datepart("m", {@.d}), datepart("d", {@.d}), 00, 00, 00)

|||Thanks AMB....that will work but that code is for the inside on the report...my problem lies in the parameter prompt window..how can I let the user only select the date without seeing the the time on the parameter prompt window?....|||

Sorry I have no idea. As I mentioned in my previos post, these questions would be better asked in a CR newsgroup.
